459 ARW Warrior Spotlight

Master Sgt. Ryan Kerwood, a fuel systems craftsman of the 459th Maintenance Squadron is the 459th Air Refueling Wing Warrior Spotlight for May 2023. Regarding his service, he says “I originally joined the Air Force Reserve for benefits; however, it very quickly became my full-time job and drove me to where I am today. I have always found it important to learn lessons regardless of the current outlook. It is crucial to anyone’s success to take knowledge from your mentors, but also find ways to improve from those you may not agree with. My motivation is to provide a place where individuals can thrive, and this unit has shown that our motivations align.
